Yes, Gibbs, the former F school. Its students posted increases in all four FCAT-tested areas (ninth grade reading, tenth grade reading and math, eleventh grade science). If you tally the percentage point gains from all four tests - just to get a sense of across-the-board progress - it comes to a net of 18. The next best: Countryside High, with a cumulative percentage point gain of seven.

"It's absolutely amazing," Gibbs principal Kevin Gordon told The Gradebook. "At the end of the day, it's not magic. It's hard work and dedicated teachers and staff."

Clearly, the school's overall performance still isn't where it needs to be, and there's a lot of hard work ahead, Gordon said. But he said the latest scores "gives us momentum to keep going."

On the flip side, Tarpon Springs High saw its trend lines dipping the most. Its cumulative percentage point decrease across the four tests was -16, with a 10 percentage point drop in 9th grade reading.
